Item 5.02 Departure of Governors

On August 20, 2009, the Granite Falls Energy, LLC (the “Company”) Board of Governors accepted the resignation of the two representatives appointed by Glacial Lakes Energy, LLC (“Glacial Lakes”) to the Company’s Board of Governors. Pursuant to the Company’s Fifth Amended and Restated Operating and Member Control Agreement (“Member Control Agreement”), Glacial Lakes had the right to appoint two representatives to the Company’s Board of Governors so long as Glacial Lakes owns no less than 20% of Company’s issued and outstanding membership units. On August 20, 2009, Glacial Lakes transferred a portion of its membership units in the Company which has reduced Glacial Lakes’ ownership of the Company to less than 20% of the issued and outstanding membership units. Accordingly, pursuant to the terms of the Member Control Agreement, Glacial Lakes has lost its right to appoint two representatives to the Company’s Board of Governors and the two Glacial Lakes representatives, Mr. Mark Schmidt and Mr. Terry Mudgett, have resigned from the Company’s Board of Governors as of August 20, 2009. Mr. Mudgett was also a member of the Company’s risk management committee. The Company anticipates that the members of the Company will elect two governors to replace Mr. Schmidt and Mr. Mudgett at the Company’s annual members’ meeting to be held in March 2010.
